No praying on the Almighty! Judge tosses suit against God
The Lord has one less thing to worry about.
A Nebraska judge tossed out a state senator's lawsuit against God, ruling the Almighty can't be sued because his heavenly address is a bit out of reach.
"There can never be service effectuated on the named defendant," Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk wrote in his decision on Tuesday.
State Sen. Ernie Chambers sought a permanent injunction against the Holy One to prevent him from unleashing natural disasters that cause "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."
The Omaha senator, who doesn't have "an atom of religion" in his body, said he decided to target the Lord to prove a point that "every lawsuit must be allowed to be filed."
His suit was prompted by two attempts by the Nebraska Legislature to limit "frivolous lawsuits."
Chambers, who is planning to appeal, said courts already acknowledge God's existence by invoking His name during oaths, so He doesn't need to be served.
"The court must recognize the consequences of that acknowledgment - that God is all-knowing," Chambers said. "God does have actual notice."
